NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::self - Build a distribution with a
bootstrapped version of itself.
VERSION
version 0.001001
SYNOPSIS
This is a different approach to using "[Bootstrap::lib]" that absolves a
distribution from needing to forcibly embed bootstrapping logic in
"dist.ini"
dzil self build
This is largely similar to using
[Bootstrap::lib]
try_built = 1
and doing
dzil build && dzil build
And similar again to:
dzil run bash -c "cd ../; dzil -I$BUILDDIR/lib dzil build"
Or whatever the magic is that @ETHER uses.
This also means that:
dzil self release
Is something you can do.
CAVEATS
The nature of this implies that your distribution will probably need an
older generation of itself for the initial bootstrap.
That is to say:
dzil build
Must work, and use "Generation.Previous" to build "Generation.Build"
dzil self foo
Will call "dzil build" for you, to build "Generation.Build", and then
invoke
dzil foo
To use "Generation.Build" to build "Generation.Next"
"1. Generation.Previous"
A previously installed incarnation of your dist.
"2. Generation.Build"
The iteration of building the distribution itself from source using
"Generation.Previous"
"3. Generation.Next"
The iteration of building the distribution itself from source using
"Generation.Build"
